First time spraying Behlen Qualalacq laquer

[Alex Horvath]

Hi,

I'm refinishing a dining table and I plan to level, polish the finish.
I have the recommended sealer, reducer and retarder.
It's about 80 deg, 60% humidity where I live.

I have a Accuspray 10G gun with 4 stage turbine.

Behlen does not seem to give much application info -

What percentage retarder and or reducer (just noticed reducer recommends starting with 5%) should I start with?
Is there a recommended tip size?

When spraying the dining table top, is it critical to maintain a wet edge or is this product fairly slow drying?

For the top, my schedule is transtint dye, sealer, sand, 3 coats of lacquer, sand, 3 coats of lacquer, sand, polish (per Jeff Jewitt).


Thanks
